Opus, like Vorbis, is a lossy codec. That means you will always have to
decide a balance between a very small file with poor quality and a large
file with very good quality. No one can decide that for you, it is a matter
of taste and need; I can not tell you whether you should take an expensive
meal in a five star restaurant or a cheap meal in a random dinner.

What Monty told you is that the other choices, the other configuration
options, are already set to a generic optimum: if you try to change them,
then you will get either a larger file with no better quality or a file with
the same size but poorer quality. It may be necessary for some applications,
but if it was for you, you would know it.
